We have all eaten dahi pakodis and dahi wadas but can you imagine pakodi chaat with coconut kadhi? Yes, there is a combination that truly tastes divine. The fluffy little pakodis which are deep-fried and soaked in water go well with a hot coconut and curd based kadhi topped with a sweet and spicy chutney, lots of sprouts and spring onions.

The coconut kadhi uses coconut milk which is the liquid extracted with water from the coconut flesh. Coconut milk is now available in tetra packs at grocery stores, so you need not go through the effort of extracting it. Of course the peppy chutneys, which lends that necessary hue and flavour to the sweet and spicy pakodi chaat, can be made at home.

This Indian kadhi pakodi is perfect to enjoy over weekends or at parties with family and friends. Make the kadhi, pakodi and chutney in advance and assemble while serving.

Tips for pakodi chaat. 1. Remember to immediately put the deep fried pakodis immediately in water for soaking. Do not soak more than 15 minutes or else they might break. 2. When you have less time in hand, instead of coconut kadhi you can use fresh whisked curds. 3. If you do not have mixed sprouts, you can add pomegranate for that crunch
